House Fraunhoferstr. 9

Even before the current building was erected, there was an inn on the same spot, and its owner changed hands several times. When it was built by master bricklayer Xaver Mayr and master carpenter Stitzinger in 1830, today's house with the inn on the ground floor was one of the first on Fraunhoferstrasse . The originally classical building was extended from 1890 to 1891 and redesigned by Thomas Steinbauer in the neo-renaissance style. Five years later, the inn was completely refurbished with the interior furnishings that still exist today.

The Spaten brewery has owned the inn since 1905 . From 1915 a room was temporarily reserved for the Turonia student union. The property was only given house number 9 in 1935, previously it was designated as number 1 and number 5. The house was damaged in the Second World War and the facade was later restored in a simplified form. The innkeeper Josef Bachmair has been running the Fraunhofer restaurant since 1974. The Munich workshop cinema has existed in the former bowling alley of the inn since 1976 .

Interior and equipment

The restaurant is divided into two room parts arranged at right angles; the front part runs along the street front. A small side room, separated by a basket arch , adjoins the rear part of the main room.

The built-in interior from 1896 has largely been preserved; This is particularly noteworthy, as the historicist styles in particular were soon underestimated and the corresponding fixtures were quickly replaced by more modern ones - this is particularly true in large cities, where the public's taste has increased influence due to increased competition. Tables and chairs are made of untreated wood and match the historical fixtures. Alois Barbist's structural engineering office , which was also responsible for the reconstruction of the rear building, created the historicist interior in the neo-baroque style.

A stucco-decorated girder separates the two parts of the room; it is supported by a polished marble column. Are stuck decorated Artfully also circulating in two parts by grooves and the corners of the ceiling. The walls are all around, the parts of the room are connected by paneling about two-thirds high , with a division into fields about half a meter wide ; different woods were used. On the window side, the paneling reaches room height, the four segmented arched windows facing the street are separated by carved pilasters . The window frames are adorned with inlays : they depict game utensils such as dice and card symbols as well as vines and hop umbels.

On the west side of the street-side part of the room is the wooden vestibule , which is followed by the counter , which is also designed as a wooden installation . The hatch to the kitchen is also a wooden installation at room height. Above the actual hatch in baroque shapes, an ox's eye has broken through just below the ceiling at the toilet entrances in the rear part of the room .

Theater at Fraunhofer

A theater for cabaret has been attached to the restaurant since 1974. Its founders include Werner Winkler and the host of the inn, Josef Bachmair, who came from the Musikalischer Unterholz (MUH).

Workshop cinema

Workshop cinema, entrance area

In the former bowling alley of the inn, shortly after Bachmair took over the inn, the idea of ​​an alternative cinema emerged. In 1976 the Werkstattkino eV was founded. A former adjoining room served as the projection room, in which cinema co-founder Rainer Pongratz lived next to the projector until 1977, and the bowling alley became an auditorium. The program was created in that every member of the association could enter any film they could have in their free days in a hanging list. This created a cinema for the absurd and the grotesque. Pornography and violence were an integral part of the program, as were documentaries and auteur films from around the world. The cinema has a film archive with over 1000 films, including the entire work of Jörg Buttgereit . The team of the cinema today includes the then co-founder Erich Wagner and the punk Wolfgang Bihlmeier.

The workshop cinema continues to show films that cannot be seen anywhere else. And which are significantly different from what conventional viewing habits tolerate.

In the workshop cinema u. a. the international short film festival Bunter Hund and, since 2006, the festival for documents and experiments, UNDERDOX , and since 2014 the BDSM / Fetish Film Festival Nightshade .
